![]() ![]() Ukraine’s grassroots civil society has been diligent at reporting any Russian activity that private citizens witnessed - and at the same time vigilant not to provide valuable information to the enemy. Some photos and videos still appear on Telegram, but these exceptions are quickly smothered by a chorus of indignation. You can still trace which units are being pulled out of battle by bursts of servicemen’s social media activity, but that information often comes too late to be of military use.Ukrainians, for their part, have cracked down on the unauthorized publication of footage showing Russian missile strikes so as not to let the Russians know whether they’d been able to hit their targets. ![]() As the campaign went on, however, the Russian military and semi-regular units clamped down on the frontline use of mobile devices, and soldiers largely cooperated, realizing that indiscretion could help target them. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the story begins, Tess is well on her way to becoming a passive-aggressive alcoholic who both loves and resents Jeanne, the “good” twin. The nature of the mistake is revealed gradually throughout the book, but we know right away that it has left her bitter, sad, and sorry for herself. It made her unmarriageable, so her fate is to essentially serve Jeanne and help her get a wealthy husband, after which Tess will continue to be Jeanne’s confident, maid, and nanny. A few years ago Tess made a mistake that her family can never forgive her for. Tess has a twin sister, Jeanne, and an abusive mother. ![]() Her half sister, Seraphina, is half-human, half-dragon. ![]() Tess is a seventeen-year-old woman from an aristocratic but poor family in an alternate era that seems to resemble late Renaissance Europe. I did not have any problems following this book. This book is the first in a duology, and it is a companion book to Seraphina, which I, to my shame, still haven’t read. There is some romance in it, but it’s not romance-centric. Tess doesn’t even start on the road until page 88 and from then on it’s a long journey consisting of Tess considering her past and how she feels about it. Although there are adventures in the book, for the most part it’s a story about healing and forgiveness. Tess of the Road is a good book, but not the book I expected. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult ![]() ![]() They’re not victims they’re predators stalking the woods in search of prey. It wasn't all that attractive, and being a pacifist - murderers and serial killers and people who take other peoples lives in general? Dry as the Sahara. I feel like I'm the pickiest and stingiest person out here.

Trisha Wolfe put the D (pun intended) in Dark. "Decorative art hangs strategically at eye level to keep my high-paying clients from staring at the shackled criminals in the waiting room." This is definitely not for the faint of heart. With that purpose in mind, it actually kept me quite interested, it held certain points of suspense that made me want to read on! However, this is supposed to be a romance and as much as I want to give this book any more stars. It fell more along the lines of a psychological thriller, and it read like an episode of Criminal Minds rather than a New Adult novel. I had so much hope for Born, Darkly and although the premise intrigued me, I was skeptical on how the author managed to pull a romance with a serial killer.Īfter finishing I realized, to me.

In Tyler’s fictional families, if anyone actually serves milk and cookies, there’s something vaguely discomfiting about it. Still, there’s a perpetual edge to her stories. Tyler offers literary comfort food without apology as she noted in a 2015 interview, a reader looks to Philip Roth for “piss and vinegar” and to her for “milk and cookies.” It is long since readers have understood her universe and eagerly return to it with each new release. There is a phenomenon at work when the quietest possible story with the sparest of plots still compels a reader to sit for hours and let the tale unspool in its own time, content to see where it will go next - even when it’s clear the path is through familiar territory.įrench Braid is Tyler’s 24th novel, and that body of work forms a unified whole of style, place, and character. ![]() ![]() ![]() The nostalgia Newfoundlanders have felt for the possibilities of the island, and that they still have for the future. ![]() Johnston says the title of the book evokes It was nominated for the Governor General's Literary Award in 2017.
